They might attract unnecessary attention to your car potentially making it more attractive to thieves and therefore a claim.
A "206Info" sticker isn't likely to attract a premium.
"I've got the worlds most banging audio system in here" might.

so unless your putting '206info' across your line of sight on the windscreen (which would be stupid) i guess your not breaking any rules.

For having a sticker in your window is entirely disproportionate
#21: Re: 206info sticker question Author: juanfernandes, Location: LondonPosted: Mon Jan 31, 2011 8:59 am ---- The point I tried to get across was it's better to declare it, and any other change/mod, than to be sorry later on.

Officially yes, you are supposed to tell the insurance company, especially if you have one of these "performance enhancing stickers"
I haven't bothered telling my insurance company about my stickers, I would only let them known about tints, if I had them.
Damn I need one of those. Where can I get it?
#23: Re: 206info sticker question Author: sillyhilly, Location: The Mean Streets of CoventryPosted: Mon Jan 31, 2011 9:19 am ---- Can you not just take stickers off if you need to claim?
